Maritime

Luxembourg has become an attractive location for shipping businesses thanks to a strong political will to diversify its economy and a favourable business climate.

Strong maritime sector

Despite being a landlocked country with no direct sea access, Luxembourg’s venture into the shipping sector is a remarkable success story. By combining financial expertise with attractive corporate, operational and tax structures, companies can seize new international opportunities.

Nearly 400 companies are active in the maritime field in Luxembourg. The sector employs approximately 1,300 people in Luxembourg, both directly and indirectly, and benefits from the country’s highly skilled, multilingual workforce. Additionally, it leverages the leading Luxembourg logistics hub.

Favourable maritime environment 

Luxembourg offers maritime companies flexible and competitive conditions, while strictly adhering to guidelines set by relevant international organisations. The country also boasts strong expertise in areas such as ship finance, law, consulting, training, ship management, accounting, ICT, telecommunications, and insurance. Key benefits include:
  • Renowned financial, legal and other specialised business services
  • Sustainable, state-of-the-art infrastructure
  • Favourable business climate
  • Strong R&D and innovation environment
